So, can someone please tell me...

Do we get practice runs? If so, I'm wondering when. Registration is until 10, and meeting on top of the lift at 11 AM. Thanks!

ya well think about it. the meeting might be 15-25mins long. first practice run probably 10 mins then the brooks lift is hella slow so you will be lucky to get 3 runs in which might be enough. does anyone know how there getting the bikes on the lift or which classes are racing first?

getting the bike on the lift is soooo sketchy...lol you have to kind of hold it overyour side with your pedal on the railing thing...kindof hard at first

well... registration starts at 8:30... lifts at 9... So I'm guessing we have all that time to practice...

Getting on the lifts shouldn't be that bad. Race should be fun. It'll be wet for sure. Who else is racing pro?

I hurt... Not happy with my fall that put me ot of the finals... Oh well, that's racing.

It was rad though! Got my drift on for sure! inside lines on those turns were so sick!! Now if it only werent for the random holes in the ground that took me, and several other people out, it would have been much better. Oh well, I'm looking forward to next year!!!

Well i was a bit sick before the race, but I still raced anyways. And of course I got even more sick. So I have the flu now. Got 4th with no brakes and no chain. Well my shifter broke and so my drivetrain was screwed up. So pretty much I was chainless.

It looked GNARLY up there on Sunday. As you guys were driving up to the pass I was headed back over from the eastside, went to visit the fam this weekend in Chelan and was headed over Stevens at about 9:30. Saw a few cars with bikes on the back, wish I could have been there, but at the same time with the wind blowing and that hard as hell snow, I dunno...

The course was pretty sick. They had I think 2? huge dished out berms about 4 or 5 along the way and a lot of corners. The course is definetly shorter than a-line but the jumps are pretty jumps are pretty much like a-lines tables. I think the course took about a minute or less to ride down? But on the lift back up......really cold and long. Also, there was a hole forming where the guys were landing after the 3rd jump. And i heard a lot of people lost speed or went over their bars. I of course went over my bars and got the wind knocked out of me.
